Weekly Flylady Thread 6 April 2026
Welcome to the weekly Flylady thread. What is FLYLADY?

It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all need and to make the whole…

Help! Carrot baton mountain
I collected about 15 packs of carrot batons in my evening Olio, and cannot distribute them because they are "use by". What genius ways have you got to cook, preserve, serve, use carrot batons so I can get them all processed into something or other tomorrow?! Thanks for any thoughts you can provide!

Prepping: the new world...
Thought it was about time for a new Prepping thread... Please keep it on topic, friendly and realistic for life in the UK (i.e. no hurricane basements, no guns, no politics). For those that don't know, the Guides & Scouts among us will be prepared, but are the rest of us ready? IMPORTANT NOTE: this thread is a resource for…

Reverse Meal Planning
Not sure if many of you will have tried the reverse-meal plan idea. Rather than buying all the ingredients you need to support your meal-plan, you look at your fridge, freezer and store-cupboard and meal plan from that, minimising what you shop for. Based initially on the fresh produce that would be wasted if it is not…
